I like these fillers because they make others characters shine a little bit, have you imagined that Tenten would have some scenes and even an Ending?. I think that this is Naruto, the pre-time skip Naruto that i loved it, which was pretty simple and honest.

We never had the chance to see Neji talking with Hinata about his rage against the Hyuuga's main family and they even settled things.

Reason: never post any manga spoilers...

I like how they are using old naruto material while adding new stuff. Its really working and adds to the characters unlike some random story out of no where that no one can really relate to. Good ol classic naruto music, and some action, plus thought out mini storys make these fillers not as bad from what we have seen in the past (curry of life if i dare even say).

I dont have much hope for the next ep. It looks to be like one of those random stories out of now where, but then again so was that old ninja who had ties with each of the hokage. Guess will have to wait another week to see!

This was actually a pretty decent side story, just like the last episode. I can't say these fillers are particularly interesting, but for using the same formula of the part 1 fillers they are much better.

I don't read the manga anymore (to keep myself surprised for the anime), but I guess there's really no need for these long sequence fillers since I asume the manga is so far ahead of the anime.

But looking at the schedule...

2011-01-27 Episode 196 Rush Into the Darkness

End of fillers manga readers?

Regardless of the maths, you most certainly are wrong. Naruto ended on episode 135. The fillers lasted till 220. That means the Fillers (Yes, I intend to capitalize) lasted a little longer than an entire year.

QFT, there should have been one already...but now it's Christmas, it would feel out of place :P

This episode was very good, even though I had expected a less serious approach, it ended up being a solid episode giving Neji some time to realize the reflection of his past beliefs. Next week on Naruto: you shall be visited by the three ghosts of christmas ghost of an old guy...in your bed o_0
